Android 6.0 Marshmallow – If you currently have an Android supported device (smartphone or tablet) there is a possibility that you may be entitled (for FREE) to the newest Android OS called Marshmallow. I currently have a Nexus 5 smartphone, which is a Google based phone, and I received the upgrade this week. My Samsung Galaxy Tab S (tablet), I will have to do some research to determine when and if this device will receive the upgrade. You may have to do the same thing. Again, the OS upgrade is called Marshmallow.

After receiving my upgrade, I had minimal knowledge as to what the new features were. I went on the hunt and found what I was looking for (to educate myself) at the official Android Marshmallow site (at Android.com). There you will find the complete features list by clicking on “All Features” at the bottom of the page. If you are wondering, Google names their operating systems using a confectionery theme. Below is a complete listing:

If You Are A “LastPass” Subscriber You May Want To Read This – LastPass is an online password manager where your passwords are stored in an online encrypted vault. They have been bought out by LogMeIn (a company specializing in remote desktop management). If you visit the LastPass blog you can read more about this announcement and the various comments that indicate that people are not happy with this move. This is another reason why I do not store my passwords online and instead use local software to manage my passwords. If curious of what I use to manage my passwords, CLICK HERE..

How To Hide A File Inside A Picture– I have to give credit to BetaNewsfor showcasing this little app called Free File Camouflagethat is easy to use that gives you the ability to hide files inside a typical jpeg image. What attracts me to this software is that it is small in size (portable); thus, a nice addition to my tech toolbox.

Features:

The software can be used with the main interface or via the explorer “send to” context menu (the first time you only need to select a directory with some images).

All the files are encrypted using AES and hidden inside an image.

What happens if someone tries to open a camouflaged image? Well… nothing! He will only see an image!

This software is also useful when you want to send an exe via email. Currently many email providers (or companies proxy) don’t allow this.

Recently also GMail has disabled the support for attaching a zip file (even if protected with password) with an exe in a draft message.

With Free File Camouflage you can send via email whatever you want!
